These documents were compiled by Dr Andreas Tillyrides (now Archbishop Makarios of Kenya), who published them in 1984 under the title Meletios Metaxakis and English Diplomacy. The documents run from 1917 — just before Meletios was elected Metropolitan of Athens — up to Meletios’s death in 1935.
They include detailed accounts of the drama surrounding Meletios’s election as Ecumenical Patriarch in 1921 and his tumultuous reign that ended with his exile two years later. They go on to cover the contested election for the Alexandrian Patriarchate that led to Meletios’s victory, and then later, his failed attempt to win the throne of Jerusalem. Since these are government documents in the public domain, I’ve decided to publish them in full, for the use of anyone who wants to dig deeper into the history of Orthodoxy in this pivotal era. In time, I’m sure I will publish analyses of the documents on this website, too" [1].
